2009-05-29T01:02:00.000-07:00

Exams in french...

I am taking 4 modules + 1 french module course in france.. =)

My first french exam is TSTN(Traiement du Signal et Transmission Numerique) which is on the 21st and it proved to be an easy paper since I have already a certain understanding of half of the course and it was also taught in english. (however, the exams are in french) .. The 2nd part is a killer. John and I were reading up reference books in order to understand what the lecturer is talking about. Firstly, it is in french and secondly, it is very complicated. In the end, the exam proved to be OK..

My second french exam is called Energie et Habitat. It is a very difficult module which I have struggled throughout although I have been putting in consistent work. The exam itself was.. haha.. i really dono how to describe.. You will not know if your answers are right or wrong as it is just very complicated. I had problems understand certain french key technical terms and had to ask the teacher who to my amusement, asked the entire class too.. And guess wad, the first response is.. : Heyz! Pg 32 of lecture notes.. Next: ohhh and pg 33 too.. LOL! and guess wad, I just copied the whole chunk into the answer booklet.. =P Lets pray for the best..

My last french exam is called Electronique de Puissance. A moderate paper but once again, difficult to say pass or fail. I have tried my best and have to wish for the best ba! =D

Going off to scotland soon.. John just went off.. and I am feeling emo now =( my last few hours in rhb..

Updates.. Trip to England (290409 - 030509)

2009-05-29T01:01:00.001-07:00

29^th April

TGV from Grenoble to Lyon St Exupery.

Plane: Lyon to London Gatwick

Train: Gatwick to St Pancreas. St Pancreas to Nottingham

I met Lenny at 3pm at Nottingham train station. Lenny treated me to Chicken lunch and a bus ride to Nottingham.

30^th April

Lenny and I toured around Nottingham city centre. I bought a Liverpool shorts for 9.99Euros which is a great bargain. There is a shop called Sportsdirect which really offers cheap and good prices to quality shirts. I bought a pair of shorts here too. Later on, we went to a shopping centre and got a 2Euro chicken which is really big enough for 3 people. That is our dinner for me, adeline and lenny.

1^st May

Lenny went for classes and I went to tour Nottingham by myself. I tried a speciality – Jack’s potato which cost 2.70 Euros but was very filling and appetizing! I visited a War museum (free of coz =P) and the Robin Hood statue. I am very impressed with the pricing of the food in Nottingham. It is definitely far cheaper than in France.

I reached back Lincoln Hall at around 3pm and played squash with lenny. Squash was really tiring and really needs to have a lot of technique and skill. It has been a long time since I performed court movement and was really shagged out after the 2 hour game.

We realized that the hotel that we have booked – Cresent House Hotel, which is at Southport, Merseyside, Liverpool is very far from Liverpool city centre. A good 30km! We have to buy a new train ticket which will take us from Manchester to Southport instead of to Liverpool.

This is a note to all future people who wants to go to Anfied, Liverpool. In many websites, they do recommend Southport to stay in when we go to Liverpool. However, if you need to go to Liverpool early to get tickets on the spot, DO NOT stay at southport. The earliest time we can get to Anfied from Southport on a Sunday morning is to take a train from Southport to Saint Hills and a bus at 9.34am. Hence we have to change our plans. So what did we do??

2^nd May

Early morning, at 0415hrs, we set off to Nottingham train station. Lenny wanted to go to Liverpool to try to buy the match tickets as from the website, the tickets office is closed on Sunday. I will travel and meet up with him at Manchester. In total, we walked a good 5km. Never did we know that this is the start of our road marches.

My bus at Broadmarsh bus station transits at Sheffield. I also have the chance to see the famous stadium – Hillsborough which is the stadium of Sheffield Wednesday. The Hillsborough disaster is a chapter in Anfield history which is being commemorated until now.

At Manchester, I received news from lenny. The ticket office is closed on Saturday to accommodate for the match on Sunday! A wasted trip!

When Lenny comes, we toured Manchester and even went to Old Trafford – Stadium of Manchester United. We took a stadium and museum tour. Although I am not a supporter of United, I really felt that their stadium is really good and classy. The tour itself is really very good. I also helped hogz to get a Man U scarf from the shop there.

After Old Trafford, we went straight to Southport. Most of the shops are already closed. We realized also that there are no early buses or trains available on a Sunday. We headed to our hotel (Crescent House Hotel) which is a 3 star and cost us a whooping 30pounds a night each. We have no choice as all the hostels are fully booked in Liverpool. The service by Jenny is great. We explained to her that we will need to leave early the next day and whether we can have the share of our breakfast in the evenings to which she agreed and prepared for us. It is really good service. I love the 2 dogs (Both were called Missy)!

3^rd May

Early morning 0550hrs, we took a taxi to Mughull for 23Pounds for 2 persons. The taxi covered nearly 20km of the distance. We have decided to walk the remaining distance which is around 10+ km in order to save cost. Our target is to reach Anfield ticket office by 0815hrs as the ticket office will open at that time. The time now is 0610. Off we walk, walk and walk. We have a good breakfast at Macdonald’s on the way and continued walking all the way to Anfield.

When we were near and found that the time is not in our favour, guess what? We ran. This is really our one chance to get to see a match in Anfield so we gave everything we can to get it. We reached Anfield ticket office at 0815hr SHARP only to be turned back by a crushing truth.

The chief steward said: No more tickets. All sold out.

Devastated we are. There is just one more way to get tickets – Black market. However, we are not willing to pay more than our budgeted amount. The moment we stepped out, a guy approached us: 400pounds for 2? WHAT? 200 pounds for a ticket? That is around 440(1 : 2.2) Singapore dollar per person! Insane!! No, sorry, no. Our max budget is 100 pounds per person which is already insanely a lot. But since we are able to pay 86 euros for a Barcelona ticket, the maximum that we can go is really 100pounds, above which, we really are unable to watch it. And so, we waited.

Another guy approached us. 150pounds for a ticket? No. 100 pounds. He left.

We waited for some time, took photos and waited and took photos again. We saw the 150 pounds guy again. We asked him again: 100 pounds? To which he replied: Alright! He led us to a corner and passed us our tickets to which we carefully checked to ensure that it was really authentic. The last thing that we want was that the tickets were faked. We were really very very happy when we got the tickets. In fact, we were very excited to be able to watch our first Anfield match.

Before the match, we went to the Merchandising shop and I got a scarf and jersey. The jersey cost 40pounds in Anfield. Although the price in Nottingham is cheaper, I want to get it at Liverpool as it is authentic and it is of the latest season. I got a beanie outside Anfield and I am well-equipped!

Later, we had our lunch (chips with rice) near Anfield. The shop is run by a group of Chinese from Guangdong and we had a fine chat with them. After that, we were ready to enter the legendary KOP.

The match is awesome with Liverpool hitting the bar 3 times. It ended with 3-0, Liverpool winning Newcastle. The atmosphere is really awesome with the singing of: You will never walk alone, chants of A-LON-SO, Shit-real (Shearer) and Going down, going down. When Joey Barton injured Alonso, the entire crowd stood up and booed him. When the ref pulled out the red card, everyone booed even harder! Later on, Owen entered and the ex-Red was booed also. Sad for him.

After the match, we toured Liverpool centre. Many shops are closed and we just walked around. Lenny and I shared a 2 piece chicken + 3 wings for dinner. It was still very early for our train back to Nottingham so we have to wait for the time to pass at Macdonald’s.

The train from Liverpool to Nottingham took us 3hrs, from 2123 to 0023hrs. All buses and trains are terminated when we reached Notts. Guess what? We walked another 45min back home again. =)

Updates...(7th - 20th April)

2009-05-29T00:59:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the late updates.. cant seem to upload my photos here so i put all into my facebook! =D

7^th April (Tuesday)

Lenny, Lining and Chris arrived in Grenoble. I was so excited to see them as it has been a long time before I met them. Chris was telling me all his “heroic” stories =P

8^th April(Wednesday)

Travel around Grenoble. Went to Grenoble city centre and drank coffee. Drew equipments for skiing.

9^th April(Thursday)

My 2^nd ski day with Chris, Lining, Lenny!!

10^th April(Friday)

Rest

11^th April(Saturday) – Barcelona Day 1

We took a long train ride and transited 2 times at Valence TGV and Montpellier before reaching Barcelona. Lenny and I had our first kerbab meal of the journey at montpellier =) Kerbab meals are in fact one of the cheapest food with a good serving of meat in the entire Europe. Food in Europe is expensive which can amount to 5-6 Euros per person and a kerbab cost around 3.50 to 4.50 euros. Most importantly, it is filling!

When we reached Barcelona Franca station, we had to take a metro from Barcelonette to Maria Cristina for our Barcelona match. For the match, FC Barcelona will play against RC Recreativo at Nou Camp. Nou Camp has a capacity of around 98K seats. Our seat costs us 86Euros which is really freaking expensive.

The Barcelona match starts at 8pm and our train reached Franca at 8pm. Why? Thanks to the match being changed from Sunday to Saturday 1 week before the match itself!! Can u imagine it?? Luckily we still managed to catch half of the match =P

When we reached Maria Cristina station, we ran and walked to Nou Camp, flashed our tickets and rushed for our seats. The atmosphere was indeed awesome and excellent!!

After the match, we walked all the way to our hostel – HostelOneSaints which is not very far away. The hostel was good and beautiful. For the price of the hostel, it is definitely very worthwhile to stay here. The service is also great, free internet and the hostel is safe.

12^th April(Sunday) – Barcelona Day 2

In the early morning, we (Chris, Eunice, Lenny and me!) got a T10 ticket which allows us to travel 10 times by bus or metro. The first stop that we headed to is the Barcelona merchandise stall. I will rate the store as the best football merchandise stall and a must-go. I bought a Barcelona shorts there which cost me around 34.50 Euros. Although it is expensive, it is money well spent as it is nice and comfortable. The whole shop is very nicely decorated, aesthetically pleasing to buy stuff.

We spent the rest of the day walking around the city centre. I had my first 1Euros Mac burger for lunch and a cheap dinner at Bocata. The quote of the day happens to come from Bocata which is: I am having my dinner while all of you are having your supper!! The portion is cheap and rightfully small so we have to find a Kerbab store to top it up.

A side note about Barcelona after I have visited Madrid. Although Madrid is the capital of Spain, it is not as English-friendly as Barcelona, most notably on the train and buses.

13^th April(Monday) – Barcelona Day 3

In the early mornings, we walked up one hill. This is the start of my “destructive” photo series which I will post in full =P. After that, we went to another hill. =)

In the evenings, we went to Estacio d’Autobus os Barcelona Nord to wait for our bus to Barcelona Girona Airport. As our flight timing is in the early morning, we need to be there even earlier which means that we must sleep in the airport and at the bus station. It was indeed very pitiful when we slept at the train station as we were chased from one place to another when we were sleeping.

Finally boarded our plane to Madrid!!

14^th April(Tuesday) – Madrid

After a 1hr + flight, Chris, Lenny and I reached Madrid in the early mornings. The first thing that we did is to put our luggage at the airport luggage storage. I bet you can guess why we did so right =) Lenny and I tried to call Liverpool to get our tickets but failed. Breakfast at Madrid (Sol) was good! We had an awesome breakfast which is cheap and good! There are churros, purros (The Ang Mo version of you cha kway) and a cup of good coffee. For coffee lovers, a cup of good coffee really makes a different to your day.

It starts to rain now. After our breakfast, we went to the famous Del Prado museum but the entry fee was not worthwhile to go in so we headed to Gan Via which is their city centre to walk around. Frankly, the city was expensive and not very touristic. Luckily, we are only staying for just one day. The shop – Café and Teh is rampant here. Initially we wanted to have the traditional rice here but was really put of with the price – around 12.50 Euros per person and the serving is not big plus it is just mainly rice.

Had a quick dinner of bread + fillet which cost 3Euros and top it up with a 1 Euro croissant with ham and cheese. After which, we took a bus to the Bernabeu stadium – Home of Real Madrid. The merchandise is not as grand as FC Barcelona who even has shops in the city.

After another good Kerbab dinner, we took another bus to the stadium of Athletico Madrid. Have a quick look and head back to the city centre for dinner.

We went to an Irish bar and caught the match between Liverpool and Chelsea – 2^nd leg of the Champion’s League clash. Liverpool must score at least 3 goals to ensure qualification to the semis. It started off well with Liverpool leading 2-0 before we saw the powerful Chelsea rising and chasing the game to 2-3. The eventual score is 4-4.

After the match, we returned to the Madrid airport to get our luggage and prepared to spend our consecutive night in an airport.

15^th April(Wednesday) – Lisbon Day 1

For every flight that we have took so far, I concussed immediately when my head touched the seat. The next time when I open my eyes, it is time to get off. This was no different. Opening my eyes, I saw the Lisbon Airport. In Portugal, things are cheaper than Spain, France and definitely, Switzerland.

We took an aerobus to Roccio, which is at the centre of the city centre and walked to our Hostel – Easy Hostel. It looked quite shabby when we walked up the steps to the hostel. However, the surroundings changes when we entered the Easy Hostel. The first thing that captured us are the 3 computers with free internet access. Next, the free breakfast! (Although we are supposed to check in at 1pm, but well..) Had a good talk with the receptionists and after putting our luggage with them, we went to tour around Lisbon!!

For my vacation trip, I will rate Lisbon as the best and must go place. Using our autobus ticket, we headed to Belem and ate the famous MUST-EAT Portuguese tart! Too bad I didn’t eat more than one. It is really awesome -> Max. After that, we reached the other part of Lisbon and went to their famous castle. I bought a banana and strawberry ice cream which is very nice.

Our next highlight is food! After days of Kerbab, it is time to try something different. This meal is called Bifana. You can catch it near the city centre in one of the shops which showed a huge boiling pot of meat. The meat is pork. One bifana cost 1.75 Euros and it has a great serving of 3-4 servings of meat. The chili just makes the entire serving awesome.

Went back to Hostel and concussed at 5pm until the next morning. Although we tried to wake up at 9 to have dinner, in the end, we just continued to sleep! The bed was just too comfortable and we were also just too tired to do anything.

16^th April(Thursday) – Lisbon Day 2

We headed to Cascais, a nearby town. The trip there is very cheap and it is really a place with very nice scenary. Before the trip, the owner told us that there are FREE bikes all around Cascais, much to our disbelief. Oh come on! Free?? Who will not be skeptical right? =P But once again, we were proven wrong. The moment we exited Cascais, we found this bicycle stand which we can lend bicycles to cycle around Cascais FOR FREE! Awesome deal~ Took lots of photos here =)

After Cascais, we had a Bifana lunch and topped up with 6 for 5.10 Portuguese tarts from the city centre. The egg tarts were definitely nowhere near the original one.

We walked all the way to Place de Liberature and enjoyed the Portuguese arts and culture. If you noticed their floor tiles, the designs were not painted on the tiles. Instead, they were designed with coloured tiles! How awesome!

We took a walk to Bairo Alto, hoping to catch the vibrant night life there. As we were too early, there were not many night lives around. I did manage to buy some strawberries which cost a cool 0.70Euros for 500 grams.

We had a good dinner of Bacalhau which is the national dish of Portugal – Cord Fish.

17^th April(Friday) – Porto Day 1

We took the 11pm train to Porto. There are frequent trains from Lisbon to Porto and we got the tickets when we just arrived in Lisbon. It is a long 3-4 hours ride to Porto.

When we reached there, we checked in to our Rivoli Hostel. It is a cool hostel~ =) On the first day, we cleared their 5 must-go monuments and had their local traditional Franceinhal dish which cost around 6 Euros. The dish tasted strongly of cinnamon which really gave it a unique taste. =)

18^th April(Saturday) – Porto Day 2

Early in the morning, I am busy planning for the trip to Liverpool. Horrible! The flights all seemed so expensive I have to do lots of permutations and combinations to find the cheapest flights to and fro to UK. It was raining heavily when we set off. We walked all the way to the lover’s park and I lost my water bottle at the Irish pub which I managed to find it the next day.

We had dinner at Imperial Macdonalds. I had McRoyal Deluxe which cost an awesome 4-5Euros for a meal. It is definitely better than kerbabs =P

We met Karine, who is from SMU and currently on exchange in Spain. We played many games of bridge which were very thrilling =) More games to come when we go back k!

19^th April(Sunday) – Porto Day 3

On Sundays, most of the shops are closed. We had pastries lunch and Royal Bacon in Mac.

Lenny and I parted ways with Chris and Karine at the Porto airport. We are leaving for Girona Airport where I will go to Paris Beauvais and Lenny for East Midlands.

20^th April(Monday) – Girona Airport, Paris, Lyon, Grenoble!

Len and I met Francesha, a Singaporean who is studying at the University of York at Girona Airport. I also met another Singaporean, Carmen who was on exchange in Paris. It is very nice to meet your fellow countrymen when you are many miles away from home =)

Carmen and I took the same flight to Beauvais airport. I walked for 1hour to Beauvais city centre to catch my TGV. My itinerary back is: Beauvais -> Paris Nord, Paris Gare de Lyon -> Lyon, Lyon -> Grenoble. A super long journey which lasted nearly 24hrs. Shag but fun, Tiring but worthwhile! Next trip: UK!

Valence 01 April 2009

2009-04-05T04:41:00.001-07:00

On April Fool's day, a group of us went to Valence Ville.

It is finally spring now and the flowers are just blooming everywhere! Really very beautiful =)

This is a park in Valence.. Spent some time "nuaing" there ;)

Even the "toys" at the playground is so scientific!! omg..

A cathedrale.. =)

Mystery of the Blue Butterfly...

Solved?? .. Will update on this very soon ...

I know i look very cool.. :P

Ok.. So which way is it?

HA HA!

Some Raffles-like statue.. lol

My lunch!! Its very nice!! .. I love the crispy cheese a lot ;)

Liverpool!! Nou Camp, here I come!!

2009-03-19T07:40:00.001-07:00

On 14 March 2009, I had my first football PUB exp! =D It is a decider match between Liverpool and Man U. If Liverpool wins, they will have a chance. If they loses, Man U will surely get the title.

A bunch of NUS students comprising of Man U and Liverpool supporters were at a Irish pub called O'Callagan. It proves to be a tough, nail biting competition in the first half, with Liverpool going 2-1 up. The atmosphere was good as there are a lot of people cheering their own teams =) When the final dagger strikes with the scoreline 3-1 and 4-1, the man U supporters began to leave the place, leaving all the Liverpool supporters to cheer wildly!! =D

Too bad for the Man U supporters!!

Another thing to update! Lenny, Chris, Eunice and me will be going to NOU CAMP to watch Barcelona take on Recreativo. Btw, the capacity is 98,772! The maximum is 120000. Really cant wait to go there.. =)

BusY!

2009-03-05T00:37:00.000-08:00

Busy planning the Easter week trip
Busy attending French lessons
Busy cooking/washing/cleaning
Busy mugging(really)

Busy Busy Busy!!

1 month in France...

2009-02-27T08:55:00.000-08:00

It has officially been one month in france. Up till now, I am quite comfortable with the surroundings and have already gotten used to the entire system ie. Mode of transport, where to get cheap groceries, where to find the best deals for shirt, how to travel, how to book the trains, tgv, tram, planes, how to open a bank, how to cook dishes, how to listen to french people talking, how to speak in such a way they will understand(yes.. this is really a skill), the food, the lessons(still struggling)etc.

Before you book the tgv(bullet train), I got the carte 12-25 which gives special discount to people between the age 12-25. Trust me, it is worth it. The discounts go from 25% to 50% at certain periods.

As for the airlines, I am still in the midst of discovering. Have been using www.skyscanner.net as it compiles all the prices of the airlines. I also learnt that prices for RYANAIR via the skyscanner is not accurate. Hence it is necessarily to check it out on the site itself. Sometimes, prices which are more expensive on the skyscanner may in fact become cheaper than RYANAIR.

For my money, I have asked my parents to telegraphic transfer it to me. As for opening the bank account, it is quite simple but you need to fix a bank appointment first. For grenoble students, the Societe Generale got special plans and they give us money to open bank accounts. If possible, open more bank accounts and you will be given more money!! =P By right, after we gotten our carte bleu, we will be able to register for a telephone line but well, I am just going for the prepaid card =)

At the present moment, winter is ending and spring is coming. The temperature is steadily increasing~. However, at some times of the day(especially without the sun), it may become very cold.

I am living in a residence called Residence de la Houille Blanche(RHB). It cost 204Euros a month and our room consists of a cooking stove, fridge, beds, free internet(which sometimes will disconnect for certain time period). The toilets and bathroom are outside. There are great facilities like ping pong, gym and swimming pool. I could say that this residence is very good. Comfortable and nice~ =) Made quite a few friends here too!

Some disadvantages about this residence are that the timings of the bus ends very early(around 9pm). However, it is just around 30min walk from school (15min bus ride). The receptionist doesnt speak english.

The mode of transport is by tram and by bus. If possible, try to grab the tag pass for students with your attestation or carte d'etudiant. After which, for one month, you just need to tag your card on the bus or tram and you are able to travel around Grenoble.

There is a pizza shop nearby which allows you to get a big pizza (for 2 person for 4.90Euros) Trust me the Medium size is of the best deal. We have calculated that using (pi)(r^2) =X

Indeed, this SEP has allowed me to open my eyes even bigger to things around me. Today, I went to the Alliance Francais de Grenoble at Ave Gambetta to check out some courses. There is this speaking lessons (not exactly lessons) and as long as we pay the 20Euros subscription fee which will last for one year, we can go for the speaking classes as many times as we want. Good deal right! Well thats exactly what I want. If best, I want to grab a french guy and keep talking to him, and he can continually correct my french. It is really now or never. If I dont muster my french here, I will have missed the boat and there will not be a second better opportunity to do so.

For the past 3 weeks or could I say, more recently, I have been approaching people in the supermarket, on the streets, in school or whatever place and start to chit chat with them. Maybe I have become very fanatical but I feel that through normal conversations, I can get to know more about the culture, other people's views which I have always been interested and most importantly, have the opportunity to speak in french.

At the supermarket, I will be talking to someone either queuing at my back or front. Just by starting off with a simple question, I will start to ask about what is the best deals there etc. My aim: The day I fully understood what he or she tells me, I will be 60-70% there for my listening. The day when I can talk to him/her without any hesistation and spontaneously means the language is internalised just like my english and chinese. The day will come =)

In school, the lecturer still speaks super fast. I still have problems understanding what he says. Even when the lectures are in english, I will need some time to understand to think and understand. Whats more that is is french! =) But things are getting much better now. Out of the 4 modules, 1 have not begun, 1 is partially in english and I kind of learnt some of them, 1 is in french and I am pretty lost and the final one is in French but with no exams and lots of programming(which I have been busy with for the past few days). So far so good but I will need lots and lots of practise for the module in french which I am pretty lost. Hopefully will be able to understand them soon =) Must buck up!

The countries which I want to visit are still there. So far, I have been visiting the places within france only. So far so good. =)

Cooking is a must. If you want to eat good and cheap food, bring along a cook book. I must really thanks my roomie John for bringing one! =) Dont worry, you can get most of the ingredients from Carrefour Asiatic. Some of them can be gotten from normal groceries shops(Ed, Carrefour, Casino). Each is cheap in some areas of product and the house brands need not always be the cheapest.. Still in the midst of compiling =)

So far, I have tried some bouldering, ice-skating, skiing, running, gyming, table tennis and mountain walking(like army.. Shag). Fun! =) Have been keeping up with my fitness through gym as the weather is pretty cold. Hope to start swimming next week..

One last thing, just like any place in the world, people will start responding to you once you make an effort to know them. I am doing that and hopefully I will make lots of friends here =)

Le Stade Des Alpes

2009-02-25T15:06:00.001-08:00

Voila! Here is the secret mission with Hogz! We went for a soccer match in France! The league is between Grenoble and PSG(Paris Saint Germaine) and its a France League 1 match!

The stadium is 1 year old so it is very new. Not only is the pitch awesome, the atmosphere was great~ It was in fact crazier than in Singapore which only chant Butok or Bodoh cheers!

The ticket! (actually mine is the back facing.. but its just the difference in seat number)

Me in front of the stadium!

Inside the stadium~

Holding the PSG banner~ (although i am studying in grenoble! lolz)

My own desert! Pear + Blueberry =)

All of our 5 deserts!

My lunch (Main Course)

The entree which is the appetizer is free flow.. Was very filling after the whole meal.. After the meal, we went out and caught the "Chingay" festival. Think it is called Mardi Gras if i am not wrong. Not very sure though~ Will upload the videos later.

After Chambery, Hokito and I went of on a secret mission.. Guess what it is? ;) Photos will be up very soon!

Chambery Part 1

2009-02-22T15:09:00.000-08:00

On Saturday morning, a gang of us went down to Chambery~ The tickets were very cheap! 4.60Euros for a ticket to chambery and the same price back to grenoble gare universite. The train ride is around 55min. Initially, I thought that at Chambery, it will just be a small town~ It is not even in any guide books! But how wrong I am~ =)

It so happens that there is a "Chingay" like festival in the city~ Will upload the video later =)

A statue in the middle of the city

The background is very nice right ;)

Attendance taken!

Will upload more photos later =)

French Intensive Week

2009-02-21T23:26:00.000-08:00

Finally my internet is back!! it has really been a horrible 3 days wait~

Had my french intensive week during this vacation week. For your information, it is the vacation week of spring thus there is no school!!

The french intensive week is a 4 hour lesson per day for 5 days. We started our class at 9am and ends at 1pm. During the week also, the office of the international students organised activities after classes.

In my french class, there are people from many walks of life -- From Germany, Finland, Brazil(yes the chicks are really hot), Spain, Italy, Czech. Had a lot of fun chatting with them and also exchanging some emails. We spoke a lot of french in class. As for me, I have been trying and trying to speak as much as I can to improve the tongue. =)

The activities organised by the international students office were very fun~. There is a dinner buffet on the first night after which a bar (with one free drink). Next, a billard outing, in house partying, ice skating(free) and a weekend ice-skiing. As for me, I did not go for all, except the house partying and dinner buffet. Not that I am antisocial but my train and bus to my house ends very early and thus, i cant go very far away. As for the weekend iceski, I have already other plans! (muahaha!)

Quite a fun week! Enjoyed lots of fun with the international students =) I guessed that many of them are here to enjoy themselves also instead of mugging!

Photos from Houille Blanche

2009-02-12T00:30:00.000-08:00

I am staying in an appartment called Houille Blanche. Was taking some photos the other day of the scenary outside my window~

and here they are...

Here is the view outside my window today!! Its really nice to see this when I just woke up. Grabbed my camera and started clicking!!

Interesting things about France Grenoble

2009-02-11T09:19:00.000-08:00

1. The lift has no close button. I was searching for the CLOSE button when I entered the lift for the first time

2. The city is very orderly with systems even for road cleaning. BUT they do not have a system for parking. The cars can just part anywhere and everywhere even at the middle of the road. zzz

3. The timing in Grenoble is 7hrs behind Singapore timing.

4. The entire city is a student's town. There are many students from all over the world here including Tunisia(Arab countries), Africa, Northern France, China (yes there are a lot)and Koreans. However, I have not seen any Indian here. Why?

5. It is a law in France that a module which is taught in english must be stated in advance to the students. Else, if one student in the class opposes to it being taught in English, it will be taught in French.

6. There is a large number of PRC and Koreans here. I have to admit that the Korean girls have great fashion sense even in this cold winter.

7. Most of the Chinese food stalls are in fact Vietnamese food stalls. One reason I heard is that French people can only get used to Vietnamese food! Still yet to find out if this is true.

8. There is a 5Euro Barber in Victor Hugo but no one has dared to tried it. So far the market rate still hovers at 10 to 20Euros.

9. When I thought French people spoke very fast, the lecturers speak even faster

10. It is finally snowing properly..

School Woes..

2009-02-10T03:50:00.000-08:00

Was in school and barely caught 30% of what the lecturer is talking about. Have to figure the rest out from the notes that he gave. =P Well, thats life~ Just have to try to understand it from the internet.

Surprisingly, when I come over to france, I find that I can map a lot of modules. This is because many modules on the websites are not updated (ie. Sem 1 modules can be taken as well) and there are some new modules (which are in english) which have not been shown on the website.

Today is my first practical lesson~ 3pm to 6pm.. Shag..

Marseille

2009-02-08T13:10:00.001-08:00

My first trip out of Grenoble.. 2 nights in Marseille~ =)

Bought the 12-25 which is actually for young people. It gives us 25%/50% discount for train rides at certain hours. If you are travelling a lot across the provinces in France, this is a must buy.

Took the bus (coach) to Valence before we took the TGV (bullet train) to Marseille.
Marseille is a port and has a large number of Muslims. From what my other friends told me, it is because the port is near other Muslim countries. That also explains the large number of kerbab, sandwich and pizza shops around.

When Charlene, John and I reached there, it was already dark. The rest who are there since morning came to the train station (la gare) to pick us up. It was moderately cold but still bearable. We walked towards Vieux Port and met up with the rest at the hotel St Louis.

Took a long walk (which include lots of photos) to our hotel. Our hotel is very nice for 20Euros per night. It is a 2 star hotel but the decorations and bed were of high quality. It even has a BATH TUBE! =P Pardon me, it is quite difficult to find a bath tube here =P ..

Had my first sandwich for dinner. I must say that the fries are awesome and the price is alright (2.50 Euros for 1).. We even had another sandwich for lunch the next day (but from diff shop). It is kind of difficult to find something around 2Euro price, full and nice. In chinese is Want it cheap, Want it fresh and Want it nice. But well, this is the best that we can find!

The next day was a full excursion day. We head to one of the Chateau to watch sun rise and the city. It was magnificent. =)

We are not able to make it for Chateau d'if as the wind is too strong for the boat to sail so we just go to Palais Longchamp. This palace was also magnificently built. The structure, architecture were wonderful.

After which we took bus 21 and headed towards a nature reserve (Luminy station). Walked up to a mini peak and took some good photos. The wind was very strong and we had to be very careful with our belongings. After which we went all the way down to the beach.. The seawater was magnificiently clear and blue. Took lots of photos (not in my camera sadly). Will have to wait for the others to upload them!

Headed back to the main town and had a fine, awesome seafood dinner. It cost 20.50Euros for one person but it is a definite must try. I had it before on the Island of Fouille (also in marseille.. it is an offshore island). The meal consists of 1/2 large crab, many mussels, prawns, clams, etc. The prawns were very juicy! It just "melts" in the mouth =P

The rest of them headed to Avignon the next day but I took the train back to Grenoble as I have been there before. It was snowing for the first time (that I have seen) in Grenoble (city). =)

The bank

2009-02-08T12:59:00.000-08:00

Before our 2 Night trip to Marseille..

Had our bank appointment before our Marseille trip. Luckily the lady speaks slow enough for us to understand her french. It is really interesting to note that as a student of INP Grenoble, there are so many benefits, including opening accounts.. For 1Euros per month, I will be able to have an account, credit card and a cheque book. Also, I will receive a sum of money from the bank to open my account.

It also goes to say that if we have the time, we should open more bank accounts since the bank gives you money to open the account! =P

It took us 2hours to finish everything which includes signing of the documents.. Will be able to collect our card, cheque book and internet banking this coming week only.. =)

Skiing...

2009-02-05T14:21:00.000-08:00

It is my first time seeing and touching snow and snow skiing..

We got up pretty early to prepare some bugette with ham, salad, tomatoes for lunch, so that we can eat them on our way to ski. The bus was schedule at 12.45pm in school.
As we headed towards the skiing rental shop, the tram broke down and we had to get off and wait for another one. It was 12pm. When we finally reached our skiing rental shop and got all our stuff, it was 12.30pm and we had a mad rush to the bus station with all the equipments..

Oh.. Skiing boots were really VERY heavy, plus the beton (sticks) and the skis, it was really heavy.. We boarded the bus which took 30min (or longer) to reach the top of a mountain.. It is snowing and the entire place was snow and it is very cold.. I was wearing 4 layers -- Long Johns, Shirt, Jacket and a Pull over plus a snow cap..

Skiing was really super fun.. But rather, the clumsy me just fell down countless times before I finally got it.. =P It is really shag and to learn how to ski is really not easy.. Well.. I learnt how to walk.. (after falling down many times.. just like a baby.. zZz..*dont laugh!!* ) and ski + direction change..

It is really great to see snow also.. First time in my life.. But frankly.. nothing very special.. =P The snow I saw were all rather coarse.. :P
Kind of gotten used to the cold + so many layers.. Hence hardly fell a thing..
The one week of climatisation is showing its effects but well, I am still suffering some jet lag.. (still wake up at 7 and sleep at 10pm(french time))

Spent around half a day up there before making our 30min trip down.. Well the turning and twining slope really made us feel dizzy so just sleep!!..

Had a pizza meals before John and I had our daily activity!!! Guess what?? ;) Its a very fun game, indoors and requires a ball.. lOL! Must still play some sports rite? Else I will grow fat with all the dairy food products.. =)

Time Table

2009-02-04T10:38:00.000-08:00

Though I have mapped 8modules over, I have decided to take only 4 modules and that makes my study week 2-4 days a week.. Why 2-4 and not a fixed number? It is because 2 of my courses are not fixed days in a week and there are also project days which have not been included into the days..

Why just 4 mods? Well, long story.. Catch me online and I will tell u why~ =)

But not be jealous k.. My primary 2 days are Mondays and Fridays and that really sux!

First week

2009-02-04T10:25:00.000-08:00

First week passed..

The first week is an awesome spending week.. Got all the kitchenwares, bedsheets from IKEA and got lots of food so that I can cook at home..

The baguette shop near our house is the best baguette I have ever eaten (trust me).. Even for a serious rice-lover, I am now totally in love with that =P Slowly becoming my staple food alr! LOL~ ..

Travelling in Grenoble has been fairly easy.. The first thing that we needed to know is which is the tram and which is the bus and the direction it is heading.. Once you are clear with that, check out the timings at the bus stop.. It is very accurate.. Really an eye opener that their transport system is so high tech..

I felt that although the technology in Singapore is high, every system is by itself and a new technology is used to solve one problem .. In the future, when the system is not needed, the technology is discarded..
On the contrary, in grenoble, the transport system is v united.. Maybe this is because the entire system is by one single company and hence, there is one standardised system.. In fact, I realised that even the card in the universities can be used uniformly throughout the entire uni.

Do note that Grenoble is made up of many universities (Joseph Fourier, INPG, etc)and yet they have one standardised system which uses just a simple card scanning.. This is something I feel Singapore is lacking.. One standardised system which can be uniformly used.. =)

Blur me...

2009-02-04T10:23:00.000-08:00

Was quite blur this few days.. Thanks John my dear buddy for helping me out.. Just too many things came to me so suddenly and all at once.. =)

Was at INP to pay my money.. It is a long train ride.. However, when I reached there, I realised that I forgot to bring the paper.. When I took the long ride back, I realised that my paper is in the file just that it is white in color (John's form is orange) so i took a near 45min tram + bus back ... zzz

School....

2009-02-04T10:15:00.000-08:00

Finally attended my first lessons today~~ Its in french and its very fast.. Luckily I have learnt some of them hence I am able to understand around 50% of what the lecturer is talking about =P ..

Tell you all more about the place I lived in. It is called Houille Blanche.. It has internet, fridge, mini kitchen, a good bed and a good price of 204 euros per person per month.. The room is nice and cosy.. For those people who are studying in INPG, I will definitely recommend this place ;)Cheap and good..

The weather has been ok .. Starting to wear lesser and lesser.. LOL.. So i wont look so fat now on photos!! =P

Dinner has been great so far.. Been cooking at home.. John's omelette and spagetti were awesome and the ladies -- Charlene and Aliah were also great.. So well, I guess I wont need to show my skills =X Give them chance ya =P

Pictures of dinner will be up in facebooK!! =D

The Beginning of SEP in Grenoble

2009-01-31T01:25:00.000-08:00

John and I arrived at the Lyon Airport after transitting at the Heathrow airport.. It was 10.40pm and the weather is cold but not as cold as we have expected it to be.
At Lyon Airport, there are buses just outside the airport which goes directly to Grenoble.

It was a long 1-2hrs ride before we finally reached our destination. After a quick look at our map, we headed towards the INPG headquarters, which is just at La Gare SNCF. We waited for 2 hours and knew 2 MExican friends. We were told that we should have gone to our school -- ENSIMAG which is situated on the north east of Grenoble instead. However, we decided to go to our student hostel which we will be staying till 1st February. The tram and train are kind of on a standstill as there is a nation-wide strike. (... how lucky) so we walked a great deal of distance to a busstop. Adding on the the unfamiliar system of transport, we essentially spent 1-2 hrs trying to figure a way to travel =P

This hostel is an international youth hostel and it has branches world-wide. If you are interested, you can check up www.hihostel.com .. =)

Checked our the local supermarket, food and shops on our very first nite.. Oh.. the weather at nite is really chilling! (brrrrr....)

Our second day is spent on the campus where we manage our modules. (still managing and still have mapping to do as I have found out that the internet modules are not reliable. SOME courses which are offered in SEM 1, are offered in SEM 2.

Met up the rest of the Singaporeans for lunch and our dinner is at Xueli and Shanta's place (Pizza!!!) =D

The night is again super chilling. Was staring in amazement how climatised the rest are.. LOL.. well my hood is above my head and scarf around my neck.. =P

18 Mai 2007 (Vendredi)

J’ai appris plus d’imparfait et aussi passe compose. Aujourd’hui, on a présenté à Singapour. Mais, on tous a présenté la nourriture de Singapour. Je voudrais manger tous ! Le laksa, le nasi lemak, le roti prata, le ice kachang et plus important, le riz!

Apres l’école, Jean-Paul nous a enseigne les danses de l’Occitanie. Les danses étaient très intéressantes et tous les étudiants avaient beaucoup d’amusement. Jean-Paul était un linguiste. Il parle seize langues et c’était superbe !

Le soir, je suis allé à la discothèque avec quelques amis. La musique était superbe ! Peut-être, le DJs de Singapour devrait apprendre ici. Une très bonne expérience dont j’ai aime beaucoup.

19 Mai 2007 (Samedi)

C’était le jour de plage. Yueli, Tracy, Jérôme, Frances, Choon Ming et moi sont allés a la plage de Palavas. On a arrêté a la place de l’Europe et après, on a pris un bus jusqu'à la plage. Il était une journée très longue mais le paysage à Palavas était assez. J’ai aime beaucoup le paysage partout le vente qui était excellente.

A la plage, on a joue beaucoup et on a reste les pieds dans la mer de Méditerrané. Il a fait froid ! Très froid ! Mais tous a aime le soleil, le paysage, la plage, la mer, et aussi le vente.

Pour notre déjeuner, Jérôme a choisi le bœuf cuire mais quand il a arrive, il était cru. Peut-être, nous n’avons pas compris le menu et aussi, nous n’avons pas parle exactement (le français). Il était un déjeuner pas mal, mais il n’était pas excellent. Après, Kier nous a rencontre et nous sommes revenus à la plage.

Bon weekend.

20 Mai 2007 (Dimanche)

Le Nîmes. Il était une ville qui était beaucoup d’histoires. D’abord, nous avons visite les jardins de la Fontaine. C’était une fontaine Romaines. Ensuite, à cote la Fontaine était le temple de Diane. C’était le temple dont les Protestants se bataillent les Catholiques et il y avait beaucoup de tuer ici. Maintenant, il était en ruine. Alors, nous sommes arrives a la Maison Carrée et après, la Tour Magne. Il était un tour très grande et au haut de la tour (le sommet), nous avons pu regarder tous le Montpellier. (Presque tous : P)

Nous sommes alles à la Cathédrale Saint Centre et avons regarde un film de l’histoire de Nîmes. Alors, nous sommes arrives a l’Arènes et avons pris notre déjeuner. Choon Ming et moi ont partage les déjeuners parce qu’il était trop cher. Nous avons eu le morues et porc. Nous sommes restes a la restaurant depuis 2hr et après, nous avons visite le Pont Du Gard. C’était le point de notre voyager. Le Pont Du Gare était un pont qui était construit par les Romaines pour transporter les minérales (calcium). Nous avons pris beaucoup de photos la.

Après, nous sommes visite un domaine viticole et ensuite, nous avons essaye les vins différents. J’ai acheté un jus de pomme pour diner avec ma famille.

21 Mai 2007 (Lundi)

J’ai eu une nouvelle professeure qui s’appelle Inka. Elle avait l’âge moyen et ses parents étaient français et allemand. Elle nous a demande nous voudrions apprendre quoi et nous avons écrive sur un papier. Nous avons révisé la grammaire et quelque vocabulaire et il y avait beaucoup d’écouter. Après la classe, nous avons été une conférence et il a eu le même que l’histoire de Politique en France.

Ensuite, nous sommes allés à la libraire et il y avait beaucoup de livres ! Oh la la, c’était très intéressant !

22 Mai 2007 (Mardi)

Nous avons visite la Musée de Fabre ou il y avait beaucoup de peintures. Il était un nouveau musée mais je n’ai pas compris beaucoup. Après, j’ai pris un glass et acheté un billet a Marseille.

23 Mai 2007 (Mercredi)

C’était le jour – Le finale de la légué de champions et le club je préfère – Liverpool, jouera !

Après l’école, nous sommes arrives chez Stanley. Son maitre de la maison était très gentil. Nous avons regarde le match ensemble. Malheureusement, Liverpool n’ai pas gagne mais il était un bon match.

2007-05-20T23:33:00.000-07:00

12 Mai 2007 (Samedi)

Aujourd’hui, je suis arrivé à l’aéroport de Changi à 6h30, l’après-midi. Avec moi, il y avait Zhenyi, Choon Ming et Jerome et on a voyagé ensemble. Mes amis - Jer Hsuan, Yee Haun, Shouwen et Huixia, sont venus à l’aéroport et m’ont donné bon voyage. Et aussi, j’ai reçu le sms de Huiqing et quelque ami. Je vous remercie !

Sur l’avion, j’ai pris un bon déjeuner et dormi beaucoup.

13 Mai 2007 (Dimanche)

Je suis arrivé à l’aéroport Charles De Gaulle(CDG) à 6h45, le matin. C’est l’heure de France. Le temps de Paris était beau, autour 14 degrés Celsius. On a pris le bus de l’aéroport jusqu'à la station Gare De Lyon. Puisque on était tôt, on a pris nos petits-déjeuners et aussi, marché autour la station. Il y avait quelque magasin dans la station. J’ai acheté mon premier quotidien mais je n’ai pas compris tout ! C’est mal ! Ensuite, je suis allé aux toilettes et ils coutent 0.50€ ! 0.50€ pour un visiter ? Ce n’est pas vrai ! Mais, je n’ai pas eu de choix. La nourriture – Un sandwich coute autour 5€. Voila, c’est France.

A 11h25, j’ai pris le TGV pour Montpellier avec Jerome parce qu’on a acheté le billet ensemble. C’était notre premier voyage en France et on a décidé la première classe seulement pour ce voyage. On a acheté un l’assiette sandwich et après, on a parlé et dormi.

Ma famille est Mdm. Badina. La première impression pour lui était elle est gentille et elle a un peu de difficulté pour conduire ! Je lui ai parlé beaucoup et elle m’a dit ses enfants, petits-enfants et la vie de Montpellier. Et aussi, elle m’a amené autour la Comédie dans le tram et la voiture. Mon premier dîner était les haricots verts et le pouillet avec petit-pois. Puis, il y avait le désert. Je les aimais. Et aussi, j’ai présenté mon présent -- Un Chemise rouge Nike avec les mots Singapore.

14 Mai 2007 (Lundi)

Je me suis levé à 3h matin. Peut-être, parce que la différence d’heure, en France et a Singapour. Singapore est devant que France par 6h. J’ai pris mon petit-déjeuner. C’était trois pains, du café, céréales et le lait.

J’ai eu classe a L’IMEF pour le jour et il était une surprise que personne n’en retard ! Peut-être c’était la première classe. Il a plu beaucoup et il a fait très froid.

A l’après-midi, j’ai eu seulement un sassage. Il y avait la class d’écrire et de parler. Apres ma class, il y avait un homme qui s’appelle Jean-Paul qui nous avons amené autour de la place de Comédie, dans les rues et aussi nous avons dit l’histoire de Montpellier. Il était un joli homme, tres amusant. Alors, nous sommes allés à la cathédrale de Montpellier et la place de Pêyrou. C’était un grand jardin et il avait un bon paysage. Très bon et je pense qu’on ne le trouve pas a Singapour. Jamais. Le soir, j’ai eu le pizza et pouillet.

15 Mai 2007 (Mardi)

J’ai fini ma classe à midi, 12h et demie. Après les étudiants ont utilise l’ordinateur, beaucoup sont rentre chez leur.

16 Mai 2007 (Mercredi)

J’ai une classe pour l’imparfait et passe compose. Après, on a regarde le film – C’est tout, ensemble. C’était un film ennuyeux et prévisible. Il y a trois personnes qui cherchent leur rêve – Une femme peinture, un homme animateur et un homme cuisiner. Mais, c’était mon premier film dans un cinéma. Chez moi, j’ai rencontre la fille de Mdm. Badina. Elle avait presque le même âge que mes parents ! Après, j’ai regarde le changement de président a la télé.

17 Mai 2007 (Jeudi)

C’était l’ascension et une joue fériée. Je me suis levé tres tôt et je suis allé courir. Mais après 20min, j’ai commence marcher. Je ne sais pas de raison mais je suis tres fatigue et aussi j’ai mal a la gorge. Plus tard, les étudiants ont rencontre à la place de comédie. On est allés au Môlaires pour les Jouer Extrême. Il y avait beaucoup de gens qui ont joue le vélo et le ‘roller-blade’. Devant de notre déjeuner, on a joue au foot avec un homme et son fils. Il était très joli. Ici, on a pris beaucoup de photos aussi. On a déjeune bien et a parle beaucoup. Alors, on a pris une promenade à la Polygone la comédie (encore). Apres, nous sommes allés a la place de Peyron (encore aussi) et a parle beaucoup encore. Je ne sais pas pourquoi on a parle toujours mais il y avait beaucoup de chose pour nous. Peut-être, nous sommes Singapouriens. Je suis rentre chez moi et a dormi.

2007-05-11T07:51:00.000-07:00
